An Equilibrium Asset Pricing Model with Labor Market SearchLars-Alexander KuehnCarnegie Mellon University - David A. Tepper School of Business Nicolas Petrosky-NadeauCarnegie Mellon University - David A.Tepper School of Business Lu ZhangOhio State University - Fisher College of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) January 18, 2013 Fisher College of Business Working Paper No. 2012-03-001 Charles A. Dice Center Working Paper No. 2012-1 Abstract: Frictions in the labor market are important for understanding the equity premium in the financial market. We embed the Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides search framework into a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with recursive preferences. The model produces realistic equity premium and stock market volatility, as well as a low and stable interest rate. The equity premium is countercyclical, and forecastable with labor market tightness, a pattern we confirm in the data. Intriguingly, three key ingredients (small profits, large job flows, and matching frictions) in the model combine to give rise endogenously to rare disasters `a la Rietz (1988) and Barro (2006).
